婴幼儿辅食中细菌总数及蜡样芽孢杆菌污染情况分析

通过平板菌落计算法和最大近似值（MPN）法检测市售婴儿辅食中细菌总数和蜡样芽孢杆菌污染情况,并对MPN法得到的疑似蜡样芽胞杆菌进行基因间隔序列（ITS）插入性序列分析和形态鉴定。结果表明,101份样品中只有30份样品菌落总数达标,合格率仅为29.7%,部分超标产品的细菌总数达105CFU/g~106CFU/g。市售3种婴幼儿辅食-米粉、奶伴侣和面条中细菌总数及食源性致病菌蜡样芽孢杆菌检出情况不容乐观。     

Inactivation of Bacillus cereus Spores on Red Chili Peppers Using a Combined Treatment of Aqueous Chlorine Dioxide and Hot‐Air Drying

The effect of a combined treatment using aqueous chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) and hot‐air drying to inactivate Bacillus cereus spores on red chili peppers was evaluated. Ten washed and dried pepper samples, each comprising half of a single pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), were inoculated with B. cereus spore suspension. The inoculated samples were washed with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl; 50, 100, or 200 μg/mL) or ClO₂ (50, 100, or 200 μg/mL) solution for 1 min and then air‐dried (25 ± 1 °C, 47 ± 1% relative humidity), which was followed by drying with hot air at 55 °C for up to 48 h. The spore populations on the samples were enumerated and their a_w and chromaticity values were measured. The spore numbers immediately after treatment with NaOCl and ClO₂ were not significantly different. A more rapid reduction in spore numbers was observed in the samples treated with ClO₂ than those treated with NaOCl during drying. A combined treatment of ClO₂ and hot‐air drying significantly reduced the spore populations to below the detection limit (1.7 log CFU/sample). B. cereus spores on chili peppers were successfully inactivated by washing with ClO₂ solution followed by hot‐air drying whereas the pepper color was maintained.

Antimicrobial activity of torilin isolated from Torilis japonica fruit against Bacillus subtilis

ABSTRACT:  Torilis japonica fruit has been used in therapeutic antimicrobial treatments in Korea and China since ancient times, but there is still little information on the mechanism underlying this activity. We found that the ethanol extract of T. japonica fruit showed excellent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 spores and vegetative cells. The crude ethanol extract (75%) reduced the spore concentration by 3 log cycles and the vegetative cell concentration to lower than the detection level (reduction in spore concentration by more than 6 orders of magnitude) at a concentration of 1% (w/v). The ethanol extract of T. japonica fruit was fractionated into n -hexane (H) and a water layer. The active antimicrobial compound was isolated and purified from the hexane layer, and identified as torilin (5-[1-(acetyloxy)-1-methylethyl]-3,8-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2,4,5,6,7,8,8a-octa-hydroazulen-6-yl(2 E )-2-methylbut-2-enoate; C₂₂H₃₂O₅). Torilin immediately reduced vegetative cells counts by 5 to 6 orders of magnitude, and reduced spores counts by 1 order of magnitude. The integrity of structures such as the inner, middle, and outer layers of the coat and the cortex, protoplast membrane, and core are vital to spores. Torilin functions as a surfactant with hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties related to denaturalization of various proteins. The distortion of coat proteins due to direct binding polar groups of spore coats with hydrophilic groups of torilin may be responsible for the observed rapid inactivation of bacterial spores.

溶解氧控制对枯草芽孢杆菌发酵生产腺苷的影响

在50 L的生物反应器中,通过控制溶解氧水平为5%、10%、20%、30%四个水平考察枯草芽孢杆菌发酵生产腺苷的影响,发现该菌株生长的溶解氧浓度在10%～20%。并通过发酵过程中菌株的生长情况、菌体摄氧率和发酵产苷进行相关分析。结果表明,在发酵过程中DO水平控制在10%～20%时腺苷积累量高,发酵液中DO水平为5%和30%均不利于发酵液中的腺苷积累。通过对发酵终点丙酮酸的检测,发现枯草芽孢杆菌在低溶氧状态下比高溶氧状态下积累更多的丙酮酸。在此基础上,提出两阶段DO控制策略,最终腺苷积累量达到20.1 g/L。

Optimisation of Bacillus cereus biofilm removal in the dairy industry using an in vitro model of cleaning‐in‐place incorporating serine protease

This article addresses a major hygienic issue in the dairy industry, namely biofilm removal. Response surface methodology was deployed to optimise Bacillus cereus biofilm removal conditions using serine protease. The currently practiced alkali cleaning‐in‐place (CIP) method was also optimised, and while the optimised protease CIP resulted in complete removal of biofilm cells, the reference CIP (with alkali) resulted in a reduction of 4.08 log biofilm cells/cm² and the optimised alkali CIP resulted in a reduction of ～4.92 log biofilm cells/cm². Furthermore, the amount of the biofilm matrix removed in the optimised protease CIP was significantly higher than that of alkali CIP. It was concluded that the optimised protease CIP has better applicability.
